Everyday Safety is Everyone’s Job: Keep Subbies Informed with Daily Pre-Starts and Declarations

Ebony Middleton | Published on 26 February 2025

No two days are the same onsite. Weather can change, tower cranes are erected, materials get delivered or concrete pours commence. Without an organised way to communicate with subcontractors, there’s no guarantee that everyone will be aware of scheduled activities, site changes or high-risk works.

Simpel’s Daily Declarations takes the guesswork out of site communications. With just a few clicks, management can update the daily pre starts that subbies must review and sign-off on before starting work, which also checks them into the site access logs in real-time. There’s no relying on word of mouth or hoping workers have seen the latest email update. Everything they need is in one place with an audit trail confirming they’ve understood the information and are arriving informed, accountable, and ready to get the job done.

Daily Declarations keep subcontractors informed and compliant

Imagine a large construction site where scaffold is to be stripped, creating a high hazard and restricting key access routes. Before the day begins, the site manager uses Simpel’s Daily Editor to post an update notifying workers of restricted areas and highlighting alternative routes on an updated site plan.

As workers arrive, they will either scan the Daily Pre Start/Site Access QR poster using their smartphones or access the form via their Simpel profile. The latest update appears instantly, providing clear instructions and visual cues. After reviewing the information, each worker completes their digital declaration, confirming they’ve read and understood the day’s safety requirements. Any non-compliant responses trigger an instant alert to the site manager, informing the worker they are to report to the principal contractor and not begin work until cleared. The site team can then review the issues and clear the worker allowing them to log into site.

For sites using site access hardware, this process goes one step further. Workers who haven’t completed their daily pre start won’t be granted entry, ensuring that no one steps onsite without reviewing critical updates.
